The quantity of green on the outers varies from year to year but it almost never completely fails to perform. It also bulks-up in fits and starts with a bumper year where one bulb becomes around 10 bulbs every so often.
Not sure he'd admit to being a galanthophile, John - he's a sensible chap .... but I think Leena is further north anyway!
Leena might be Alan, but what about Hoy in Norway? Does he grow galanthus? I sent him some seeds awhile back, I wonder how he got on with them.
I don't know exactly where Leena lives but the climate there is much colder than here, especially in winter.
I may be most northerly galanthophile (I don't know if I have enough of cultivars to be a true galanthophile) here in this forum, but I know two persons here in Finland who have a lot more named cultivars than I do (and they are also silent members of SRGC , I'm just more talkative)....
... even one with fused ovaries and extra large flower.
